Use paper economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of paper:
● If you are printing relatively small images or document pages, you can use nesting to print them side by
side instead of one after another. See Nest jobs to save roll paper on page 57.
● You may be able to save some roll paper by using the following options:
– In the Windows driver dialog:
○ With a version 3 driver: Click the Paper/Quality tab, then the Margins/Cutter Settings button,
then check the box Remove blank areas.
○ With a version 4 driver: Click the Output tab, then Roll options, then check the box Remove blank
areas.
You can also select the Layout/Output or Layout tab (depending on the driver version) and then select
one of the Rotation options.
– In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Select the Finishing panel, then Remove Blank Areas and/or Rotate.
● If you check the print preview on your computer before printing, you can sometimes avoid wasting paper
on prints containing obvious mistakes. See Preview a print on page 55.

the other. This is done to avoid wasting paper.
